Fitted mine with a frined who has a garage and oversaw me doing it, it was a bugger to fit, and drilling holes in your pride and joy can be nerve racking.

make sure you seal it properly or it will leak

I bought one for my now long gone WRX but this was fitted by the supplier in no time at all so its not difficult. Its just the fear of miss drilling, scratching etc.
One thing i would make sure is the fixing screws are well sealed to prevent water ingress into the boot.
Question is.....Are you feeling brave?

Me and my son fitted mine, just had to make 2 of the original bootid holes a bit bigger with a drill as they didnt quiet line up, and then we drilled two more fresh holes in the middle of the boot to stop the spoiler rising in the middle.
